On sugar and 'gives you energy': I'm not an expert but it seems this is extremely over-hyped, and I've noticed more people believe in this if they were raised in a place where parents believe in the 'sugar rush'. I still remember the first time I heard about 'sugar rush', already an adult. It's just folklore in some western and richer countries [1]: > "In 1995, a meta analysis of the 23 most reliable studies was published(...). Sugar simply had no discernible effect on the children's behaviour in these studies." If you erase that notion it becomes pretty obvious that sugar does little (if something at all) to keep you 'on', at least compared to caffeine (or, you know, harder stuff).
